[Pdns-users] pdns stops responding to requests

[Brandon Checketts]

I've just replaced two BIND servers with PowerDNS Servers.   They are configured
to use the gmysql backend, and MySQL is performing the replication between them.
  Everything seems to be working fine, but on the "slave" server, pdns seems to
just quit responding to DNS requests sometimes.   The web server portion of it
continues to respond, but DNS queries just don't get answered.   Also, when it
locks up, a netstat -l -n shows this (notice the Recv-Q for udp on port 53):

I've turned loglevel up to 9, but not seeing anything in the pdns logs that
indicate anything.  Can anybody recommend anything to look for, or anything that
I can do to help diagnose this problem?
